The Healthy Post!

So anyone that knows me knows I can be a bit of a health nut! For the last year and a half, I've been juicing and making green smoothies! Below, I'll tell you the benefits of green juices and I'll also list some recipes!

Benefits:

Green juices are very alkalizing, cleansing, healing, hydrating and restorative. Disease, inflammation, pain and cancer all thrive in an acidic environment.
You can rebuild muscle and damage cells through green juicing.
Green juice offer a large cross-section of different nutrients from a variety of different greens and sprouts. Green juice supply the body with chlorophyll. Chlorophyll has many benefits to the body; neutralizes toxins in the body, helps purify the liver, improve blood sugar problems, regulates digestion, helps rebuild tissues, antibacterial and much more.
A 32 oz glass of fresh green juice may supply much of the protein an average adult needs each day. Believe it or not, leafy greens are 30% protein.
Green vegetable juice won’t spike your blood sugar and insulin level like fruits and sweet vegetables like carrots and red beets will. Its best to combine those in your green juices instead of drinking alone.

Below, are recipes courtesy of Green Juice a Day!

 Sweet Cucumber

4 handfuls of Spinach ( swiss chard is another great substitute)

2 Cucumbers

4 small Fuji Apples (2 medium fuji apples)
